Dr. Giap Van Duong at the exchange and thematic discussion session.
During the talk, the speaker addressed the following topics: the importance and significance of reading; effective reading methods; and solutions for fostering a reading culture in families and schools. Drawing on his experience and success in accessing and reading books, he shared his personal experiences in a very relatable, easy-to-implement manner, supported by concrete examples and results, so that others could learn and follow. In particular, analyzing the causes and current state of reading among young people, he argued that they are not yet truly interested in reading culture, and could even be described as "lazy" about reading.
Currently, it is quite common for young people to overuse and become dependent on technological devices such as computers and smartphones to browse Facebook and watch short clips on TikTok. Dr. Giap Van Duong believes that books are the primary tool and means for human development. Reading helps people expand their knowledge, understanding, and vocabulary, fostering intelligent and coherent thinking. He also stated that to develop a reading culture, one must first have books, then build reading habits, share reading with others, and choose good and meaningful books to read. Schools and families should implement related activities such as keeping reading journals, storytelling, presenting book content, and reading aloud to each other to spread a reading culture.
Dr. Giap Van Duong interacted and shared his knowledge with the students.
During the talk, with its engaging and friendly atmosphere, the students interacted and shared their opinions and thoughts. The talk helped them understand the significant role and benefits of reading, as well as the adverse effects of uncontrolled social media use.
